Can Be Rewarding

First of all, let me say that life as a Kickstarter backer can be very rewarding. On most weekends here in my city, there are lots of artists performing, all genre of music, several theaters... and somewhere amidst it all is a Flamenco Dance Troupe. It’s just part of a rich culture fabric. And when that Troupe dances, they are pleased to have a nice, portable, professional-style dance floor. On the back of that floor are written a bunch of names, mine included. Those are the Kickstarter backers who pledged to buy that floor and keep great Flamenco dance alive I our city. I’m not a huge Flamenco fan; it’s nice, but not my favorite. However I am glad that we have it.

A group of college students studying engineering got to send an experiment into space on a satellite. That’s not cheap, even at “student rates.” The world is better off now. The experiment explores a new technique for cooling electrics in the vacuum of space. But the world is mostly better off because five young engineers learned to work together to solve real problems.

And so many more rewarding projects.

The app itself is stable and reasonably designed.

Here is one thing I hate: to send a creator a message, the app bails you out to a website which requires that you enter your password. Because the app itself keep you logged in, I don’t know my Kickstarter password off the top of my head.

Needs “back” or simple History

I love Kickstarter. I have the Kickstarter app on my phone, and when I was reading about an awesome Kickstarter project on the web the other day, when I clicked on a link in the review it took me to the app. Great, right?

So I open up the app today to share that with a friend, but the app has reverted itself to some main “popular now” feed. Ok, not what I want, so... how do I find what I was looking at last in the app? How do I find this awesome project? I don’t know it’s name. But it was the last thing I was doing in the app! It’s vanished. No “back”, no “here are the projects you viewed recently”, no nothing. Kickstarter is not doing their creative partners any favors there!

This is simple - add something to just backtrack or know where we were recently in the app, discovering things we didn’t know would speak to us (so we didn’t bookmark or fav them), but now later on and they’re still thinking about them... let us easily find them!

Bad company

App works fine. Kickstarter does not. You are literally gambling your money away. If the creator takes your money and doesn’t provide you with anything at all, Kickstarter will do absolutely NOTHING to help you. What they will do is happily take their cut of the money. I was duped and lost $165 and literally received nothing, no product not anything! Just simply handed over $165 to Kickstarter and some random person who kept my money. It was a scam, and Kickstarter threw their hands up. But of course kept their cut of the money and basically said screw you to all of the people supporting their business. I for one will never back another Kickstarter project and recommend that you don’t either unless you really feel compelled to gamble your money away. You may get nothing, you may get a half baked product, you may have to wait forever to get it and maybe if all things go well it will be worth you investment. For me, it never will be ever again.
